Egypt's tourism minister promised additional security measures to protect tourists, following the second attack on a hotel in two days.

Three tourists were injured in a knife attack at the Bella Vista Hotel in Hurghada on Friday night, a day after an attack at a hotel near the Giza pyramids.

"The welfare of the tourists visiting Egypt is of the greatest importance to us and will continue to be so. No stone will be left unturned to ensure their security," Hisham Zaazou told The Telegraph.

"Even greater security measures" will be announced in coming days to protect visitors to the country, he added - without giving further details on what they might entail.
